In all, the 97 engagements brought between $12 million and $26.4 million into the foundation since 2002. A precise number is impossible to compute because the foundation provided the information in broad categories of value, rather than specific dollar amounts. But three speaking fees were listed in the $500,000 to $1 million range. None had previously been disclosed by the organization or by the Clintons. The foundation had previously accounted for the fees as revenues but had not classified them as donations.
